Grants FROM PAGE 1 The group will be doing a trip on Aug. 23 to escort six bodies back to Arling- ton Cemetery and money from donations will go to- ward the cost of $2,500 per escort, said Steve Cobb, a member of the Missing in America Project. "We appreciate them do- ing this for the veterans," Cobb said. "It's not often that school kids will take their time to do something like this." Walmart gave the group a large donation and lent them a mobile concession stand to help out with the project, said Associate Prin- cipal Jody Brownfield. "It was pretty amaz- ing to see the people lined up when I got there to ob- serve," Brownfield said. Walker Davidson, Olivia Zumalt, Justin Foux, Na- than Frits, Kevin Hinkston and Jack Murphy did clean- up, painted a concession stand, trimmed trees and created a firebreak at Bethel Assembly of God. "We chose Bethel be- cause it's a multi-commu- nity use facility and it gives back to the church and the community,"Davidson said. At the Red Bluff Fire De- partment Station 2 on Cedar Street, which houses the de- partment's museum, Wyatt Clement,BrandonLaChance, Kade Lewis and Aaron Lyon spent time doing clean-up of the museum and cleaning out weeds and bushes be- hind the building. The group chose their project as a thank you to the department for hosting a special breakfast on Fri- days during football sea- son for the entire team, La- Chance said. The breakfast was started by Red Bluff Fire Department Engineer Scott Spangler, who continued the tradition long after his son Garrett graduated. Lucy Fouts and Jacie Lawley did station clean-up, painting at the training grounds and as- sisted with medical calls out of Red Bluff Fire's station 1. At Red Bluff High School's farm,TrentonLaChanceand William McDonald worked on putting up an iron fence, which they welded and spent at least 15 hours working on Monday, Brownfield said. SavannahSutliffandRyan Fisher went to Shasta State Historic Park in Old Shasta to repair a broken fence be- hind the museum and re- store a hiking trail at the park. Katrina Couglin, Haley Rosser and Caleb Sanders headed up an unusual proj- ect in that they went to An- telope, Lassen View, Reeds Creek and Red Bluff ele- mentary schools to do a sci- ence show for kindergarten through eighth grade stu- dents. Jesse Cantrell, Mar- tin Hernandez, Jeffrey Man- dolfo, Nicholas Mandolfo, Karl Parks, Eduardo Resen- diz and Ramiro Espinoza Serrano III assisted. Other projects of note in- cluded helping the Sacra- mento River Discovery Cen- ter prepare for its summer camps, Red Bluff Police sta- tion clean-up, elder care at Tehama Estates, preparation of an agricultural education classroom activity and proj- ect at the Tehama County Farm Bureau and helping out at the Salvation Army and Hospice Second Hand thrift stores.

"I'm concerned that if we don't act now the state will come in and take over," Su- pervisor Dennis Garton said. "I want us to be at the forefront of things." Initially, a resolution was put forth seeking to send the Department of Water Resources a letter of in- tent to have the Tehama County Flood Control and Water Conservation District serve as Tehama County's Groundwater Sustainability Agency. But several entities, including the cities of Red Bluff and Corning, the Ger- ber-Las Flores Community Service District and the El Camino Irrigation District, requested a delay. "We have met with the public works staff and we would like to have a voice in the vote when it comes to groundwater," City Man- ager Richard Crabtree said. "We provide water for 25 percent of the population of Tehama County and pro- vide water for 4,756 par- cels. We realize groundwa- ter does not respect borders and we request a joint gov- ernance structure." Corning City Manager John Brewer said wanted to reiterate what Crabtree said and request that his city be represented in dis- cussions as well. Corning pumps about 2 million gal- lons of water a day, which adds up to about 773 mil- lion gallons of water a year, he said. "We currently pump about 60 million gallons a year," said Mike Murphy, Gerber-Las Flores Commu- nity Services District man- ager. "We've cut ours in about half over the last few years." Shan Patterson, a former Tehama County Supervi- sor and Gerber-Las Flores board member, said he was concerned with what the county was doing and why. "I understand there is legislation there, mixed up as it may be," Patterson said. "I have a few things I'd like to urge you to do." Whoever ends up as the lead agency should make sure that the entire county is considered one basin but include sub basins, Patter- son said. Have a basin de- velopment plan in place that would allow for noti- fication of people in a sub basin prior to any action taking place in the area, he said. "I've been in Tehama County for 70 years," Pat- terson said. "I know it says local control, but I have a hard time believing it. I haven't seen much local control." Red Bluff Mayor Clay Parker addressed the group, asking the group to use a distributive governance model of a joint powers au- thority. While this takes co- ordination and memoranda of understanding, it allows for localized control. Paul Mitchell, a represen- tative of the Lake California area, said he cautioned the supervisors to recognize the differences in groundwater distribution when forming a plan. "The northern county is blessed, but the southern part of the county is going to be a challenge," Mitch- ell said. Supervisor Steve Cham- blin said he is concerned about those basins that sit on the county line, includ- ing the Vina Basin, which is part of Butte County, and the Corning-Colusa Basin, which is mostly in Glenn County. Tehama County Public Works has been in discus- sions with all the neighbor- ing counties and plans are in the works to figure out who will be in charge of which areas, Director Gary Antone said. "It is allowable to let other counties cover those area, but still let the own- ers know what is happen- ing," Antone said. AB 3030, a bill passed in the early 1990s, is where the talk of groundwater man- agement started with the formation of the ground- water management plans, Antone said. Right now the project is in the monitoring stage, An- tone said. His agency is tak- ing a look at what the his- toric recharge is for basins, what they are used for and what changes have taken place over the years as well as the impact it has on res- idents. Phase two for the group would be defining what re- strictions would be placed if water levels reach a certain point and what that point is. The third phase would be implementation of those re- strictions, Antone said. Ag enc y FR OM P AG E 1 the Police Department led to low morale, a high turn- over rate and strained rela- tionships with area law en- forcement agencies. Nanfito was placed on paid administrative leave in March amid the city's in- quiry, which has not been made public. Nanfito, who had served as police chief since 2009, had called the allegations made by the law enforce- ment groups a smear cam- paign. His contract with the city was scheduled to expire this month. According to city staff, Sanders will earn $2,000 moreperyearthanwhatNan- fitowaspaidbecauseSanders holds a master's degree. Sanders will lead the Po- lice Department during a time of growth. After voters here approved a quarter-percent increase to the city's sales tax rate last November, the City Council in May adopted a 2015-2016 budgetthatincludesfundsfor twoadditionalpoliceofficers, an additional dispatcher and an additional part-time com- munity service officer. The city estimates an added $600,000 to $700,000 in General Fund revenue per year because of the sales tax increase, which went into ef- fect in April and is scheduled to expire in 2021 without a voter-approved extension. Councilman Rob Schmid requestedthatasix-yearplan be developed by the Police Department to make sure the city is not stuck with lia- bilities in the event that the sales tax increase expires. "Wedon'twanttooverhire by any means," Sanders said, adding that he could develop such a plan for council mem- bers in writing. Eighty-five percent of the additional revenue from the sales tax increase has been recommended by voters to go toward police and fire ser- vices, with the other 15 per- cent recommended to go to- ward parks, recreation and other services. Parker said he hopes vot- ersreapprovethesalestaxin- crease so it doesn't expire af- ter six years. Chief FROM PAGE 1 By Judy Lin The Associated Press SACRAMENTO The Cali- fornia Senate on Tuesday approved legislation that would make the state the first in the nation to ex- tend health coverage to children who are in the country illegally and seek federal authorization to sell private insurance to immigrants without doc- umentation. Senators approved a bill that would allow chil- dren under 19 from low- income families to qualify for state-funded Medi-Cal, regardless of their legal status. It also would seek a federal waiver for Cali- fornia to sell unsubsidized private health insurance through the state's health exchange, known as Cov- ered California. If passed and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, lim- ited enrollment for low-in- come immigrant adults 19 and older into Medi-Cal would be allowed depend- ing on how much funding lawmakers approve in next year's budget. SB4 advanced to the Assembly on a bipartisan vote, 28-11.

I zoomed in on a decal on the side of the car which read, "Minch's Wholesale Meats"…and thus started a new film about the plant. We had driven earlier through summer rain, and then, in brilliant sunshine, rode horses through lush pastures populated with grass fat Herford steers.Abner McKenzie, with the help of our children Melody and Brandon, was there to bunch up the cattle for an opening shot with the mountains in the background. The steers were playful, and as they broke and ran,Abner yelled, "Cut 'em off!" and the kids jammed their heels into the flanks of their horses. The horses responded with a mad galloping abandon.As horses and riders flew across the green of the meadow and the blue of the sky, I felt a welling exaltation …and knew how great it was to be alive! … I like: The color of Firehouse #2 and the Cone & Kimball building with the flat-against-the-wall-non-flashing Zuckweilers sign…the sight of an animal stretching…the quiet, small town atmosphere of upper Washington and Jefferson streets…letting Dr. Martin win at tennis once in a while…the Saturday afternoons of summer…coming back unburdened from the County dump (which must be somewhat akin to a Catholic's confession…Bud Hanna of Chico who reminds me of my late Uncle Rip…the modest success of Delores and Frankie Rodriques' grocery store…the fragile yet enduring figure of my grandmother…having everything running smoothly at the plant…the paint job on our new cab-over trucks…a cow having a calf just before going into the plant thereby saving her and the calf's life…the discovery of a meadow high up in the mountains…Dead Horse Falls which is a little known beauty near Lyonsville…the cluck of a hen to her chicks when she has found food …the feel of a horse that is really full of vigor yet manageable under reign…the awareness that one is living life to its fullest. … Ahundred years ago, when Longhorn cattle were driven along the Chisholm Trail from Texas to a Kansas railhead, a rule of thumb was "3000 head driven 3000 miles cost $3,000.00" Of course the herds were generally not more than half that size…and were driven about half that distance, but the cost factor was fairly accurate. Loren Boots, of Boots Transportation, says today the rule would be approximately 3000 head hauled 3000 miles would cost about $90,000.00…and now it would take three days instead of 3 or 4 months! … An article in this paper stated that Harvey Ramelli is being sued for $200,000.00 by a man in theAir Force who fractured his ankle at Harvey's Texaco Station. It must be hard for attorneys to keep a straight face and ask the court for that kind of money. Robert Minch WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 2015 REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM |NEWS | 7 A
